Do you have this setting filled out?
E-mail From (optional):

Yes, I have filled in the “E-mail From (optional):” field but when I receive the email it still comes up with “From: WordPress <pete@mywebsite.co.uk>”
WordPress mail function does that, I have not yet made a option to use a custom name for it.
What would you like it to say?
Mike, I too am having an issue with this.
I have the optional field filled and it comes to the inbox saying from WordPress.
What woudl be the easiest way to adjust this?
Having it simply say that it was coming from the email address entered would be good, but having a field that you can fill in would be great, except it would make for easy spoofing…
I’m not sure if this will help or not, but this is how I have my contact form set up here.
The screenshot shows my Email form settings for my contact page and then below a screenshot of how it appears in my Inbox when I do a test.
The wp_mail function is putting “From: WordPress …”
I will work on a solution to let you be able to specify the name when using the “E-mail From (optional):” setting.
Fixed in this version.
